FWIW, coreutils don't have people ask on the mailing list about this, they just have this note in their HACKING file: The forms to choose from are in gnulib's doc/Copyright/ directory. If you want to assign a single change, you should use the file, doc/Copyright/request-assign.changes: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/Copyright/request-assign.changes If you would like to assign past and future contributions to a project, you'd use doc/Copyright/request-assign.future: https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/Copyright/request-assign.future I think doing the same would save us some work and help cut down on the noise on these lists.
